Audiobook Review: Mercy by Debra Anastasia

Blurb:
He taught me to kill. Murder is in my blood now. It runs through my veins and though I hide the monster I see in the mirror with ink, it doesn't keep him from coming out.

My street name is Mercy, but I never show any. Except for her. I watch Becca, though she doesn't know. She saved me a long time ago; the day my father killed my mother. Her bravery turned her into a target.

My father holds a grudge and knife with the same proficiency, and Becca is the focus of his hatred. And I'm the only monster who can save her.

Viviana's Review:
I never read anything by Debra Anastasia and now I'm waiting to see what she releases next! I listened to the audiobook and WOW! Both Muffy's and Zachary's performance were brilliant and completely brought the characters to life!

There is so much more to the story than what the blurb shares and its one I couldn't put down! Nix is an anti-hero who will draw you in and you'll completely fall in love with him! Becca is a strong, independent and smart woman. The two compliment each other in various ways and bring out the best as well.

The secondary characters are also great! I'm really looking forward to Animal's book! We got to see different sides of both Nix and Becca through their conversations and interactions with the secondary characters which added volumes to the story!

Narrator's Review:
One of the many things I love about Zachery's performance and his narration is that he brings a vulnerability to the character with the use of his voice. The vulnerability adds dimension to the characters. However, he still brings the "Alpha Male", strong man performance.

Muffy's able to provide each of the characters with their own voices and tones and OMG, her 'guy' voice is oh so yummy! Her range is great and her performance rocked!!

Overall, a great read that has romance, suspense, humor, little drama considering and little to no angst! The narrators really brought the story to that next level!

Rating: 4.5 Stars - LOVED IT - Couldn't put it down!
